List of the highest statues of the World sorted by countries

Here is the list of the highest statues in each country. Of course not all countries are represented because it is sometimes difficult
to obtain information, but this list is already quite comprehensive. For each of them there is some information about it, as well as its
characteristics. The list takes into account only one statue per country, the highest, without the pedestal. This explains why some
well-known statues do not appear in this classification because they are perched on a pedestal so high that they are actually lower than
others ...

Statue of Charles of Borromeo, Arona (Italy)

Charles de Borromée was an Italian bishop of the sixteenth century who had been quick to implement the Catholic reform of his time. He was canonized
in 1610 by Pope Paul V. Originally from Arona, a town in Piedmont, Italy, it was quite naturally here that a giant statue was erected. It is the work
of Giovanni Battista Crespi, made of copper. It served as a conceptual model for the Statue of Liberty
when August Bartholdi came to the scene to analyze how it had been made to draw inspiration from it. Or, on the contrary, to be inspired by what should
not be done, for this statue had been made 300 years before, and the techniques having improved markedly, he could see what had to be done and what he
did not famouse, so that his statue could survive for a long time.

This statue is of a modern metal style and represents the discoverer of America, Christopher Columbus, at the helm of one of his three caravels. It is an allegorical monument, the character is put forward by his boat, very shrunk voluntarily, and by the sails behind him, also voluntarily very high, to give height to the statue. It is made of bronze and was placed near the city of Arecibo. This monument is by Russian sculptor Zurab Tsereteli.

This statue was originally designed to be in New York, but the city refused it, as did Boston, Miami and Columbus, Ohio. Note that it is the same author who made the statue of Peter the Great in Moscow. Besides, the two works are similar.

The Christ-King is a monumental statue 28m high ... but that seems much less because it is on a pedestal 85m high! It is the most famous statue of Portugal, the highest also. It dominates Lisbon, huat the view is magnificent. It was built between 1949 and 1959 and was intended as a copy of the redeeming Christ of Rio, which is what it is.
